Star Wars solo bass medley. Making the jump to light speed this Monday at 7pm London time!

We like the outdoor vibe and hope you guys do too! Let us know what you think of the arrangement, and the combination of the two bass tones.

My new Acoustic Bass was made by luthier Chris Larkin, who is based in Ireland. It has a scratchpad and a K&K Quantum Trinity pickup/mic system which captures the percussive acoustics of the body fantastically. Can’t wait to share some new music with you guys! Here are some photos if you want to see how it was made.

2014 was a great year. I was honored to be selected the #7 Reader Favourite on the massive bass website NoTreble (Victor Wooten was 4th and Jaco 1st so it was awesome to be in such company). I also had a video that was one of the 10 most popular videos of the year on the site. NoTreble and its fans have always been amazing supporters of my music - many thanks to them and everyone who supports what I do! (Feb 2015)

3 Million YouTube Views (February 2014)

So my girlfriend just told me that I now have over 3 million YouTube views, which is really humbling. I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who supports my music and an extra special thank you to the people who have supported me since I first started releasing material in 2008. Bottom line for me: views are nice, CD sales are nice, but what I am most grateful for is having you guys. Having an audience. That is the thing which I'll always cherish the most!

My arrangement of Imagine Dragons' 'Radioactive' was included in the 'Top Ten Videos of 2013' on the awesome bass website, NoTreble.com. Thank you to NoTreble for supporting my music over the years! (January 2014)

I recently reached 10,000 'likes' on Facebook - a pretty cool milestone! I'm so grateful for the people who support my music; it's a huge part of what motivates me to keep making music. Many thanks to everyone who is part of my solo bass journey! (December 2013)

Here's my brand new 'Hallelujah' arrangement. I've been working on a new arrangement of this tune for a while and I thought this would be a good one to re-release at this time of year. I really hope you guys enjoy it and thank you all for such wonderful support throughout 2013! (December 2013)

Many thanks to the massive Facebook community, Interesting Things, for sharing my composition, Constellation! I'm feeling pretty lucky at the moment that I'm able to share my little bass creations with the world. A heartfelt thanks to everyone for the amazing support. (October 2013)

It's an Electric Cello and Bass duet of my composition, 'Constellation', which is off of my new album 'Saturn Return'. I'm proud to say that this video was released via the awesome online bass community,BassTheWorld.com. 'Constellation' was originally a solo tune; but since I really liked the combination of bass and electric cello (which I also used on 'A Whisper in Time'), I couldn't resist turning 'Constellation' into a duet. I really hope you guys enjoy this one, and many thanks for watching! (October 2013)

FREE TABS AVAILABLE NOW!

Tabs for my covers of Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' and Eric Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven' are now available as free Bonus Content at Bassline Publishing! Just take 30 seconds to create a username/password on the website and you'll have complete access to them. Please note: though my 'Tears in Heaven' arrangement is not tuned E, A, D, G, it is still tuned in standard fourths, so the arrangement can essentially be thought of as in standard tuning. Therefore, you can read the tabs without altering anything on your bass. (Sept 2013)

In the context of what I do music-wise, August has been a great month for me. I've never had a video reach 100,000 views in one week before (in fact, my videos rarely ever reach 100,000 views!), and in August, crazily, it happened twice! It makes me so happy to know people are enjoying these solo bass arrangements, and I've tried to update this section of my website over the past couple weeks to try to include some of the nice things that have happened recently. Many thanks again to everyone who is supporting what I do!

(August 2013)

Recently, I received a message from a supporter who told me my Adele video is on the front page of the popular Mexican news site, Expreso Querétaro, this just after finding out it was shared on the famous French website, Spi0n! So at the moment I'm feeling really lucky to live in this digital age where you can share your music with people around the world, and I'm extremely grateful that people from different countries are enjoying my 'Someone Like You' arrangement :-) (August 2013)

I'm very appreciative for all the amazing support I've received on Reddit this month - thanks, guys! (Though, after being exposed to the awesomeness of all the subreddits, I'm not getting much work done: as other Redditors of course know, it's addictive!) (August 2013)
